Roadrunner provides mine, and I think it's T3, it's at least T1.

You mean cable. T1 and T3 aren't really used to describe a connection's speed. They're more of a type of connection.
 
I hate my damn internet connection. Lags quite often while playing Halo online. And I have Broadband DSL - tested at CNET and said 1.2mbps.
 
Ahahah mine is 100 mbps but my router is so crappy that it always kills itself for no reason at all. Sometimes reconnecting it doesnt even work.
 
1.7 megabits per second
Communications 1.7 megabits per second
Storage 207.1 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 4.9 seconds
Subjective rating Great

Tested on www.bandwidthplace.com

Satisfyingly fast DSL IMO.

I'm going to stop all other system processes (I was backing up a couple DVD's and had a couple mozilla windows and a couple internet explorer windows open at the same time) and give it another shot... i expect much better results.

Better indeed...

3.6 megabits per second
Communications 3.6 megabits per second
Storage 438.7 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 2.3 seconds
Subjective rating Awesome
 
Code:
Communications 6 megabits per second
Storage 733 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 1.4 seconds
Subjective rating Awesome

Oh yeah. Awesomeness.
 
It's 2.5 gigabit/s, not gigabyte/s. It'd therefore take 524.8 seconds at maximum bandwidth to download 164GB. Still blindingly quick though, obviously.
 
We are meant to be on a 2 MB broadband connection.

The results showed differently;

1.3 megabits per second
Communications 1.3 megabits per second
Storage 153.7 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 6.7 seconds
Subjective rating Good

I ran the test again to test it wasn't an error. Definitely not according to that site. I must try another to see how accurate it is.
 
Well I just tried another site and got these results;

  • Your estimated download speed is: 1,705 kbits/sec - (1.67Mb) - (213 KBytes/sec)
  • You told us your speed was Up to 2Mb and your ISP: Orange

That's a whole .4 mbps difference!
 
ours is: 1208.9 kilobytes Per Second,

It's supposed to be 3 Megabits per second, before the move, it was supposed to be 1.5:



There you go
